Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Games 2017

All the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Games added in 2017 so far.

UPDATE ONE: As fans prepare to grab the new Games with Gold February 2017 lineup of titles when they go live on Tuesday, February 1, a new leak has revealed what new Xbox One Backwards Compatibility games are going to be announced next.

Tuesday, January 31 will see the release of Xbox 360 titles JUJU, Mad Tracks and Stuntman: Ignition. This was leaked earlier today on Twitter from a source who has got it right numerous times in the past.

All three games are pretty lowkey inclusions, the official Xbox One BC voting site shows that none of the titles mentioned above have received over a 1,000 votes.

The same source that supplied this information has also revealed that more Backwards Compatible games are going to be announced on Thursday, although there is no confirmation what those titles might be.

While Microsoft shy away from setting dates to announce new BC games, they are known for making announcement on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week.

For those interested in grabbing the last Games with Gold January 2017 games before they disappear, The World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap and Rayman Origins will be available to download until Tuesday, January 31.

They will then be replaced by Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime on Xbox One and Monkey Island 2: Special Edition on Xbox 360.

Games with Gold February 2017 update, Xbox One Backwards Compatibility news

Xbox One Backwards Compatibility has had three new Xbox 360 games added to the list this week by Microsoft.

Xbox’s Larry Hryb made the announcement on Twitter, first confirming the launch of Alice: Madness Returns, before revealing Shadows of the Damned and Rocket Knight later on in the week.

They can either be installed directly from disc, or downloaded from your console’s games library, depending on how you purchased the titles.

Shadows of the Damned currently has over 2,000 votes on the official Microsoft most-requested site, Rocket Knight has less than 1K.

The tech giant recently reaffirmed why some Xbox 360 games get launched ahead of others, even though some have are higher in the voting league.

It’s mostly down to when the original publishers are comfortable with their games going live in the program, they still hold the ultimate say in when things happen.

Fallout 4 mods don't come much better than this epic Iron Giant effort over on the Nexus Mods website.

Replacing Liberty Prime with the Iron Giant from the classic animated film, the Fallout 4 mod is available on Xbox One and PS4, and doesn't require any additional DLC

PS4 owners get the short end of the stick, however, because the Iron Giant mod isn't available on Sony's console.

"The Iron Giant will either begin to appear when returning to Boston Airport from The Bomb storage facility during Liberty Reprimed with the Brotherhood quest line. (Up until that point, Liberty prime is in separate pieces and will still be Liberty prime’s meshes) or he will appear during Airship Down with the Institute quest line.

The proportions of the Iron Giant were modded to fit Liberty Prime's skeleton, because otherwise the creator would have had to modify every single animation.

And it's not the only interesting Fallout 4 mod.

Turns out the popular Old World Radio mod - which adds 30 new stations to the game - is powered by a strange source.

As Kotaku points out, the mod works by spawning invisible cats that serve as radio receivers.

The bizarre practice was explained by cdante, one of the mod's creators. The modder said: "To give you a little clarification, I spawn an invisible, silenced cat 500 units behind the player when an inactive radio station switches tracks in the background.

"The cat acts like a settlement radio receiver, and its role is to keep alive the inactive radio station so it continues to the next track even if you’re listening to another station.

"Just like if it was a settlement receiver somewhere near the player. In normal circumstances the cat doesn’t make sound. It is silenced, it is invisible, and it is deleted from the game world after three seconds.

"In very rare cases, though, some of the stations bugs out the first time you install the mod, and it causes to spawn cats rapidly."
